DAX PMDs have been disabled since Jan Kara introduced DAX radix tree based locking. This series allows DAX PMDs to participate in the DAX radix tree based locking scheme so that they can be re-enabled. For now I'm still using the same baseline for this series as I did with v5. I'll update the baseline once v4.9-rc1 is released, dropping whatever patches have already been merged. Changes since v5: - Reworked the way that DAX radix tree flags were handled. The old handling was correct but a bit hard for the reader to parse. Hopefully this new way is more readable & maintainable. (Jan & Christoph) - Made the definition of dax_radix_order() conditional based on CONFIG_FS_DAX_PMD. This was necessary because PMD_SHIFT isn't defined on all systems. (kbuild) - Dropped the incorrect patch "ext2: return -EIO on ext2_iomap_end() failure". (Jan) - A few error path fixes in grab_mapping_entry(). (Jan) - A few more comments in grab_mapping_entry(), dax_wake_mapping_entry_waiter() and dax_insert_mapping_entry(). (Jan) - Removed the 'inline' keyword from dax_iomap_sector(). (Dan) - Cleaned up the path through ops->iomap_end() in both dax_iomap_fault() and dax_iomap_pmd_fault(). We now pass 0 for the 'written' argument on error conditions. (Jan & Christoph) - Improved the naming of 'size' to 'max_pgoff' in dax_iomap_pmd_fault(). (Jan) Thank you to Jan and Christoph for their review feedback. Here is a tree containing my changes: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/zwisler/linux.git/log/?h=dax_pmd_v6 This tree has passed xfstests for ext2, ext4 and XFS both with and without DAX, and has passed targeted testing where I inserted, removed and flushed DAX PTEs and PMDs in every combination I could think of. Ross Zwisler (17): ext4: allow DAX writeback for hole punch ext4: tell DAX the size of allocation holes dax: remove buffer_size_valid() ext2: remove support for DAX PMD faults dax: make 'wait_table' global variable static dax: remove the last BUG_ON() from fs/dax.c dax: consistent variable naming for DAX entries dax: coordinate locking for offsets in PMD range dax: remove dax_pmd_fault() dax: correct dax iomap code namespace dax: add dax_iomap_sector() helper function dax: dax_iomap_fault() needs to call iomap_end() dax: move RADIX_DAX_* defines to dax.h dax: move put_(un)locked_mapping_entry() in dax.c dax: add struct iomap based DAX PMD support xfs: use struct iomap based DAX PMD fault path dax: remove "depends on BROKEN" from FS_DAX_PMD fs/Kconfig | 1 - fs/dax.c | 825 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------- fs/ext2/file.c | 35 +-- fs/ext4/inode.c | 7 +- fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c | 26 +- fs/xfs/xfs_aops.h | 3 - fs/xfs/xfs_file.c | 10 +- include/linux/dax.h | 58 +++- mm/filemap.c | 5 +- 9 files changed, 538 insertions(+), 432 deletions(-) -- 2.9.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
